I actually have 2 340's. 2 69's. I will try to get the vins from both. Refresh my memory. Where is the the vin is on the motor. Thanks

I will not be able to provide the vin till monday. Just curious, why is the vin so interesting?

Don't know if I am in the right forum or not but I have a question I thought I would run by some of you. I have a 69 340 that is complete but disassembled. I was thinking of selling it but I don't know the best way of going about it. Do I reassemble it or have the block checked out or bored? I...

Fan shroud is in place, vacuum advance is hooked up but never tested. I will have to pull the water pump to make sure all is well there. Thanks everyone for all the knowledge you have given me. I will print this off and go through everything listed to try and solve my problem Thanks again.

New 165 degree stat, champion N9y plugs

Engine runs hot all the time, even hotter in traffic. If you are driving for any amount of time at around 35 mph it cools down to 180-190. I have replaced the tstat twice and am now running a 165 degree. I tested the cap and it appears OK

I installed a high volume water pump but I don't know how to tell if it is what you are recommending.

Timing is at 5 B4 , stock cam. I haven't checked the vacuum advance. Would that have any effect?

My 1970 340 continues to run at about 210 or higher ever since I had it rebuilt. I have about 1000 miles on the motor. Radiator has been checked, new water pump, new hoses, still no luck. Could the head gaskets be on upside down or backwards?

That's what I am contemplating...

You guys are right. I will pursue the receipts and specs. What I am wondering is could I have a 340 of my own rebuilt for this kind of money?

I could probably get this motor for $2000. I am unsure whether that is a deal or not.

I Have a line on a rebuilt 71 340 with steel crank and good cam and everything redone properly. It has never been fired. Complete with stock intake. Can anyone give me some guidance as to what this engine is worth?

Do you mean use sealer on both sides of the large gasket or the cork gasket?

I am trying to install a 90 degree adapter on my 70 Swinger 340. I received the large o ring gasket, a cork gasket, and a plastic gasket. where does the small cork gasket go? How about the plastic one? Thanks all for reading.

Thanks guys.

Where can i get the gasket that seals the 90 degree oil filter adapter to a 70 340?

I am not very educated in this field, how do you check the lift on each cam lobe? The car runs fine, just ticks. I have been told that the cam thrust plate could be coming loose. Does that make any sense?

I replaced the lifters, push rods, rockers, and shafts but nothing helped.

Yep, notch down and to the front on the left side and notch down and to the back on the right side.

I just pulled the left valve cover and noticed not very much oil flowing in there. I didn't even need to put a rag on the exhaust manifold to catch the oil that flowed out because only about half of the rockers were spewing oil and not alot of it.. I am lost. Any ideas out there? I put an oil...

Basically it started quiet and now is very obvious.

My 68 Dart had a lifter tick. I replaced the rockers, rocker shafts, push rods and lifters and still a tick from more than 1 cylinder. The motor runs fine and I didn't see any major wear on the cam but it still ticks. Is it the cam? What's left? I put 39 weight oil in but it didn't help. Any...

These lifters don't have 4 hours running time on them. I am totally puzzled. its like they bleed down or something.

I recently bought a 68 340 dart that had been sitting for several years. It ran fine but had a slight lifter tick at idle so i replaced the lifters. The cam showed no signs at all of wear so I didn't see a problem. I bought the lifters at NAPA and bled them out before installation. My problem...
